Ambigous sentence detected. Involuntary elucidation procedure engaged.
01: Contextual information follows:
Novell owns the copyrights to UNIX and UnixWare.
02: Segment: "novell hands *nix over to MS"
03: What is *nix?
04: Supposition: UNIX proper, the thing which novell owns.
05: Revised: "Novell sells UNIX and UnixWare copyrights to Microsoft"
06: Segment: "MS shuts *nix down"
07: What is *nix in this case? [04] does not hold.
08: Supposition: In this case, *nix resolves to "Linux"
09: Revised: "MS shuts Linux down"
10: Result follows:
"Novell hands UNIX copyrights to MS and MS somehow uses the UNIX copyrights
to shut down Linux"
11: Statement false. Rationale follows:
Novell has waived any claims of copyright infringement.
There does not exist cause to sue.
Value to either Novell or Microsoft share holders far underweighs
all potential profit.
11: Terminal incosistency detected. Details follow.
Under [01], Novell owns UNIX and UnixWare copyrights.
Linux is not UNIX. Linux has nothing to do with UNIX copyrights.
